I have yet to see a 137 have much of any transfer in stock form. Have not run a transfer block in a procross since 2015. But maybe the cat ass is different.. Now they just need to fire the clutching engineers from the last 20 years! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
favoritos Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 I wonder if some RXC sleds were set up using the rear set of holes? Those are too far back and up for the blocks to hit square. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But did not see more then ONE hole for the transfer block metal rod. I must have missed it as I took the metal rod completely out for some different wheels for in the rear.

Person who sent it to me said it was helpful in a terrain setup as well. Could be a limiter adjustment needed in my case but I don’t think I ever had to mess with a procross limiter to keep the skis where I wanted them.

Yes, the new RXC doesn’t have that 7 way block anymore either unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I will wait to drill any holes through the rails.. Better hope you punch them exactly the same on each side. Not a major issue BUT can see someone fuking this up.. Maybe I will have Jim drill mine if I decide to do this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like there is a fair amount of room to move that front shock and tunnel cross shaft around as mentioned. I figured the extra holes were for the ice racing guys. Each adjustment from stock lowers the sled in that section. I expected to have corresponding holes for the rear scissor mounts too. That would actually make more sense for the extra coupler holes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I would rather collapse the skid and make contact with the blocks.. Guessing that may show it more so.. I like a LITTLE transfer.. Not into wheelies> they are slow.. But some transfer helps.. Going to put the blocks in and see where the contact while collapsing sled.. I guess it would be interesting to see the skid collapsed with the original hole and with the new hole.. See how the blocks contact. Edited January 17 by jonlafon1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They love the new chassis and engine "tone" but said it lacked the grunt of the 650 Poo but once wound up was better than the previous AC 600. Sounds like it's gonna get thrashed by the 650.

Okay yes mine was the same.. It never even crossed my mind to use that other hole or even noticed i guess? Cant imagine the blocks would even make contact in the other hole.. Nice gold digger studs.

It's no competition- The Polaris 650 is by far the benchmark in the 600 class. With that said, I don't know that most of the general public buying a 600 necessarily cares. Ramstad sorta has a point in saying that 600 buyers know that they aren't buying rocket ship. It'll be fun to see if there are some killer deals on 600 Catalysts in the spring (I'll be watching closely). With all of the 600's still at dealers, the release of the 858, and the work that will be required to get the best performance out of the 600, there could be some fantastic deals on used/left over Catalyst 600's this spring.

They were totally impressed with the new chassis and that is a good thing, they pointed out many things they felt were greatly improved on. Now I know who it is we're talking about,the Lesters, but they seemed quite happy with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fortune46x Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 I ran my 22 rxc with the most weight transfer allowed and it made it super fun to ride , I kinda hate that the 137 skid doesnt have the adjustability that the former rxc's had Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
